This may depend on the OS. On Ubuntu 24.10 with python 3.12.7 I get
$ pip install black
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed

If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
I do have '/home/rbowman/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages' left over
from earlier versions of Ubuntu.
However on Fedora 42 with 3.13.2
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not
writable.
